(35 ILCS 5/404) (from Ch. 120, par. 4-404)

Sec. 404. Reallocation of Items.

(a) If it appears to the Director that any agreement, understanding or arrangement exists between any persons which causes any person's base income allocable to this State to be improperly or inaccurately reflected, the Director may adjust such items of income and deduction, and any factor taken into account in allocating income to this State, to such extent as may reasonably be required to determine the base income of such person properly allocable to this State.

(b) The Director may not make any adjustment under subsection (a) before the Department adopts rules setting forth the methods and standards by which the Director may exercise authority under this Section. The rules must set forth the types of agreements, understandings, and arrangements that the Director will consider to cause a person's base income allocable to this State to be improperly or inaccurately reflected.

(c) Unless the principle purpose of the agreement, understanding, or arrangement is for the avoidance of federal or Illinois income tax, any adjustment made under this Section and the rules required to be adopted under subsection (b) must be in accordance with Section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the related Treasury Regulations.
